Z. Baryam et al., A CYLINDRICAL DRIFT CHAMBER WITH AZIMUTHAL AND AXIAL POSITION READOUT, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 386(2-3), 1997, pp. 235-248
A cylindrical multiwire drift chamber with axial charge-division has b
een constructed and used in experiment E852 at Brookhaven National Lab
oratory. It serves as a trigger element and as a tracking device for r
ecoil protons in pi(-)p interactions. We describe the chamber's design
considerations, details of its construction, electronics, and perform
ance characteristics.
